Traveling Carnival Photo Shoot - More Photos

Here are a few more photos from the traveling carnival photo shoot.  The female carnies were super nice about us shooting there and all the guy carnies just stopped and stared!  People kept pulling up in their cars to ask the model questions about the carnival.  I guess they thought she was a side show!  It was a lot of fun.

"Not So Classic Black" Photo Shoot (Part 1 of 3)

Recently I styled a photo shoot in which the theme was "Not So Classic Black." Here are a few sample photos (Part 1 of 3).   Photo Credits:  Photographer - Lindsey Lissau, Makeup and Hair - Leslie Milne, Stylist - Lisa Byrd Thomas, Model - Serina B. from ETA.  Thanks to the crew for such a wonderful job!!!

For a totally different look, we changed locations, popped on a leather jacket, and hiked up the dress.  That's the fun of fashion photography!

Stay tuned next week for more photos from this shoot.
